Or at least I would assume so, anyway. We need something more than Naruto, One Piece, & DBZ reruns in that block already.

You're correct. Blue Dragon and Bakugan are apparently going to be replacing One Piece and DBZ in April.[/quote]

Whatwhatwhat!? Where did you hear about that? They can't take One Piece off, that's just retarded! I don't think I'll ever forgive them if they did!

Oh well, as long as Naruto's still on there it's always worth watching. Besides, I won't believe it unless I see proof of it anyway. Whatever the case though, It'll definitely be nice to see Blue Dragon on there, I've been waiting a little while to catch that one.

Apparently the advance schedules are making the rounds, and that's the plan. One Piece is apparently going to go into repeats somewhere else on CN.

It looks like that's going to happen after exactly 26 FUNi dubbed episodes will have aired, so it's possible that was the initial order. Not to mention FUNi is trying to do multiple dubs of each episode at the same time while also apparently trying to work out releasing the earlier episodes in the series (which may or may not be what they're releasing on DVD in May), so I'm sure they need the broadcasting break too.

One Piece's ratings have been going up ever since the FUNimation switchover, so I have to imagine it will return...eventually.

why couldnt the game use the anime storyline or manga. it was so much better. i wonder if they are gonna use the same VA as the game because i didn't care for it too much but at least it would be consistent.

While the video game's storyline was very straight forward a simplistic, the anime's storyline is kinda a mixture of fan fiction and common Shounen fare. General Rogi's squad looks like something out of a fan fiction. The first 5-6 episodes suck though.

If I recall, most of Blue Dragon's cast are English dub VAs(like Mona Marshall), and LA-based to boot, so I'm hoping it'll use the same cast, if only for consistency. Would be nice to see Crispin Freeman in there somewhere though.

Sounds pretty good to me,personally,I don't have a problem with most video game animes,as long as they can do it correctly,the only video game based animes I've ever liked which did the the job right are the Rockman.EXE animes and Bomberman Jetters

anyway,onto the subject in hands,if Blue dragon does come to Toonami,heres my ideas on what they should do,first things first is, the second Naruto is the first thing that needs to go( I mean come on,adment it,theres way too much naruto as it is), and second, they defentilly need to take DBZ off the air for good,I mean,they've been overplaying the crap out of it for ages since 1997(the Moltar days)

because replacing Funimation onepiece would be one of they're stupidest desicions,because Onepiece defentilly deserves more populariety here in the U.S,because every arc in Onepiece is new and exciting(especially with it's current japanese thrilller bark arc,)
